Meet Squash and Stretch, Art Churn’s friendly mascots! These two were created based on the foundations of animation (the squash and stretch techniques). We created these characters to work in the same way that “Face” from 90’s Nick Jr. functioned. They can change their shape to fit the seasons and tones of the events or marketing efforts they are representing. To add movement to these visuals we also included a blob-like fluid, and hand-drawn swirly arrows to be layered and interactive with the characters, product photography, and type.
